A.1 Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

PLANNING

H.K.Lakshman Rao

1. Planning is the first and foremost step in our day-to-day activities. We have to plan well and also well in advance to fulfil our ambitions and achievements. Planning is essential for making and shaping our ‘tomorrows’.

2. Planning brings in us increased awareness for optimum utilization of the available resources – men, money, material and time. In these days of speed, computers etc., time has become an essential resource. In such an environment the need for planning becomes all the more important.

3. Planning helps us to schedule our work and allocate the items to specialized persons. In a competitive world, he who cannot and does not plan, has very little chance for his progress and advancement.

4. We have heard of financial planning, budgetary planning, planning for the long future and so on. There are a wide variety of plans with short and long term objectives. Long term planning can extend to even twenty years like bringing river water to cities, developing tube railways in cities etc.,

5. Planning requires the support and cooperation of persons concerned in the activities. If there is no systematic and integrated approach in the planning process, planning becomes a mere mockery. There is no job which is too small for planning. Even to witness a movie in a theatre we must plan well ahead! Our plans must be realistic and possible to reach with the resources we have: otherwise the whole planning becomes a wishful thinking and day dreaming.

6. “Rome was not built in a day ” is a proverb which contains the importance of planning in our achievements. Efficient performers are always great planners. We have heard of Dr. M. Visvesvaraya, who was the builder of the Krishnarajasagar dam. He was considered a great visionary known for meticulous planning.

A1.1 On the basis of your reading of the passage answer the following questions (4x2=8 Marks)
